Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 164 [In an away game against the Heat, Shaq did it again]
Guo Xu knew that he was not a businessman. Even if he knew that doing something in the future would be very profitable, and even if he had plenty of time, he did not take the time to study anything related to business or the IT industry.
Things like creating Facebook, Google, and manufacturing smartphones are not what Guo Xu can do. He picked up a book on related knowledge and felt sleepy after just two glances. Whoever has the ability can get it.
It is up to others to change the world and improve technology, and to become an idol in sports and entertainment, he will do it.
On the 4th, the Lakers flew to Miami to check into the hotel and face the Heat away from home tomorrow.
Miami is a city suitable for tourism. The temperature in winter is 17-25 degrees, which attracts many people to visit. The sunshine, beaches and beautiful scenery will make people forget the snow and wind that frequently visit the northern United States.
When Guo Xu was getting ready to go to bed, O'Neal knocked on the door. Wearing casual clothes, he suggested that they go to a nightclub together to be cool.
I guess you've never been to a nightclub. I'm going to take you to see it today. O'Neal said seriously, with a serious expression like a black super police who was about to form a team to catch aliens.
Guo Xu happily refused. No, I'm going to make sure I'm in the best shape tomorrow to beat my opponent.
You can play better if you relax properly. How can you not play when you get to Miami? Besides, this is just a regular season. O'Neal smiled lustfully: You are a young man, you should be more passionate.
Five of the top ten nightclubs in the world are in the United States, two of which are in Miami, but Guo Xu has no interest at all.
You may not believe it when I tell you. The reason I don't want to go to nightclubs is because the passion is too much. I even scare myself when I go crazy.
The Heat's point guard is the famous veteran Tim Hardaway, and Guo Xu wants to go all out to see how much his strength has improved. He couldn't wait to play the game and didn't want to relax at all.
Just brag, I think you just don't have the guts to go. O'Neal said with a smile.
Even if I don't have the guts, I won't go even if you say anything. I'm sorry. Guo Xu said with a smile.
In the time loop, O'Neal is Guo Xu's number one fan. Whenever one of his shocking actions is exposed by the media, O'Neal will quickly call and say that his full name is Jason - Dare to Do Anything - Guo!
Out of the cycle, Guo Xu no longer wants to go to places like casinos and nightclubs. Being exposed by the media will affect his image. But he didn't advise the fat man to stay in the hotel. This was a friend's freedom.
There is less pressure on O'Neal in this matchup.
The Heat's biggest star, the No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference, Alonzo Mourning, is absent. Although another Heat insider, Brian Grant, is also an iron-blooded representative, he has not been selected for the All-Star Game.
Mourning VS O'Neal is a matchup worth looking forward to. As the No. 1 and No. 2 pick in 1992, O'Neal doesn't have much to gain from beating Mourning. Compared with the offensive center O'Neal, Mourning is a representative of offensive and defensive balance. When the two faced each other, O'Neal averaged 30+10 per game, and Mourning usually averaged 20+10.
Mourning can not only clear the basket on the offensive end and contribute a stable mid-range shot, but also can defend alone and assist on the defensive end, making big blocks. Mourning is not among the four major centers, but his statistics against the other four are often not inferior.
Mourning's fate took a big turn in October 2000. He was diagnosed with kidney disease, and his condition plummeted from then on. In Guo Xu's previous life, even though Mourning played 75 games in the 2001-02 season, Pat Riley did not renew his contract.
This game was broadcast live across the country, and the media publicity stunts were Kobe VS Eddie Jones and Jason Guo VS Hardaway.
Kobe was a substitute for the first two seasons after joining the Lakers. Because Jones became popular, the team traded Jones away during the shortened season in order to focus on cultivating Kobe.
Jones is very capable. He was selected by the Lakers with the tenth overall pick in the first round of 1994. He was selected as an All-Star in 1997 and is known as the successor of Scottie Pippen. He is characterized by a light body, elegant playing style, and tough defense. He is very similar to Kobe's style of play, but his popularity is far less than that of Kobe.
Guo Xu was compared to Hardaway because Harper was injured and he is likely to continue to start this game.
The next day, when other Lakers players were having lunch, O'Neal was fast asleep in the room. Although no one said it clearly, everyone could guess that he went out to play.
When O'Neal showed up in the afternoon, he looked as sleepy as Tracy McGrady, and he could tell he was in bad shape. Kobe was not very happy. He hated it when O'Neal went out to play away games, which would make it more difficult for the team to win.
Before the game, the ESPN commentator introduced the lineups of both teams and mentioned the Lakers' last game.
Mark Woodson said: Today many fans are paying attention to the matchup between Jason Guo and Tim Hardaway. I don't know if Jason can get over the shadow of the defeat. He was repaired a bit badly by Iverson. Young players have a special mentality. It’s easy to go wrong.”
Guo Xu can't even remember the specific details of that game, not to mention the shadow in his heart. For him, being beaten by Iverson happened two seasons ago. He was just excited today because he hadn't played in a formal game for a long time and was just one-on-one with Kobe. He didn't know what level his current strength was.
Tom Horvath smiled and said: Hardaway is not in good health. He has a lot of playing experience. It shouldn't be easy for Jason Guo to take advantage of him.
Woodson sighed: Hardaway and Mourning won an Olympic gold medal with the U.S. team last summer, and then their good luck came to an end. It's a pity for the Heat this year. If Mourning doesn't have kidney disease, I think they are. They are capable of competing for the championship, but as the core players age, it will be difficult for them to win the championship if they miss this season.”
After the warm-up, the two teams started the game, with the Lakers starting five: Guo Xu, Kobe Bryant, Fox, Horace Grant, and O'Neal.
Heat five: Hardaway, Jones, Bruce Bowen, Anthony Mason Jr., Brian Grant.
O'Neal won the jump ball, and the game began. Guo Xu controlled the ball in the middle and waited for his teammates to open up, observing the opponent's defensive position. Inside, Bryan's low-post defense against O'Neal seemed to have a weak point, and other players had average opportunities.
The Heat's wing defense is very strong, so Jackson does not let Kobe focus on the offense.
Bowen is an important reason why the Heat are doing well this season. Although his statistics are not good, averaging 7 points and 3 rebounds per game, and shooting less than 40% from the field, he partners with Jones and his wing defensive ability is one of the best in the league. Heat head coach Pat Riley is very good at arranging defensive systems.
Guo Xu and Cobra Horace played a pick-and-roll in the middle. The 34-year-old veteran Mason quickly changed defense to block his breakthrough route. Hardaway caught up from behind to form a double-team.
As a power forward, Mason is only 201cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He moves quickly. The pursuit of speed in defense changes is a major feature of Riley's coaching.
Guo Xu did not hold the ball and made a strong breakthrough. He left a little space and hit the ground pass from the right to O'Neal, who was in the low post at a 45-degree angle.
O'Neal faced Brian, who was 206cm tall and weighed 115kg, and attacked the basket. He used his height advantage to turn and throw to the baseline, but missed the basket due to interference.
Bryan has taken on more tasks in the paint this season, averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game, a career high in scoring, and playing 33.8 minutes per game, which is also a career high. But the main reason he was able to resist this time was that Shaq did it again.
In this era, there are also many defensive experts in famous nightclubs, but they are not as famous as the Kardashians who will be selected for the All-Defensive Team in the future...
